Summer rains. Oh so common in the world of the living, but in the Seireitei, it was a sight to endulge in. The pitter patter of light raindrops echoed through the empty halls of the 3rd Division barracks. Many or the Division residents clammered back and forth, asking one another if the rain planned on stopping, or if it was to rain for the remainder of the day. Such noise. It was one thing that the young woman hidden within the room just down from the Captain's office utterly despised. She preferred peace. Silence. Nothing but the sounds of nature and the rhythm of the falling rain to calm her rather frazzled nerves. The young woman exhaled softly and prepared to start on her paperwork for the day when the door to her office slammed open.

Kohana-Fukutaicho! The sudden slam and the shouting voice of an unseated member of her division nearly frightened the timid woman out of her skin. In her panic, she knocked over a fresh cup of tea, the liquid spilling all over her incomplete papers. Trembling, Kohana quickly mopped up the mess with the already ruined papers, sliding them into a nearby wastebasket before she retrieved a cotton cloth from a nearby drawer. She cleaned her desk and chair off, then sat back down before her soft, bi-colored gaze met that of her squad mate. What is it that you want, Mr. Takahashi..? Her voice was soft, polite, and held a twinge of irritation. The male who had disturbed her now stared, wide-eyed, at the panicked woman. Uh...Nothing...sorry for disturbing you, Kohana-Fukutaicho... The man bowed and left as quickly as he appeared. Kohana heaved a heavy sigh and sat back in her seat. She tried to think of how she was going to explain to Izuru-Taicho how her paperwork was ruined. She crossed her arms on her desk, then laid her head down on top of them. Her hair fell over her eyes as they drifted shut. Silence at last.. Only the sound of the rain hitting the roof filled her mind now. Peace and tranquility was restored...for the time being..a worry still remained in the back of her mind. Would she be in trouble with Izuru-Taicho?

Kira sighed slightly as he stared down at the paper work on his desk. He had been working half the day and he had finally finished. For a moment the blond stat back in his wooden chair listening to the rain. After listening for a couple more moments took some paper out of draw and wrote:

The wetness inst greatBut the sound sooths any souls aroundwhen will it go away

Rains lover is a windowIts long distance relationship doesn’t matterRains still loves its lover.

It Reminds me of past daysOf event that happened in my roomIt brings on nightmares

The blond sighed slightly again let his writing brush hit the desk. Some of the sprayed slightly , but it missed his paperwork just barely. A second later he stuffed the paper filled with haiku into his draw and then stood up from his desk. Since he had finished his paperwork he deiced to go check on his new fukutaichou. Figuring that she too had been at the paperwork all day too he figured she would have some for him to do. If she hadn’t finished he could easily help her. After shutting the door to his offices he walked a couple feet and knock on the blue haired girls door before opening it enough to stick his head. The blond knew he could enter with out asking because he was her captain but, he wanted to be polite because they hadn’t met yet. ' Um hello ... may I come in? " he asked calmly.

Kohana had nearly fallen asleep under the soothing sounds of the rain when a knock at her door stirred her. Her eyes fluttered open, her heterachromatic gaze falling upon the slightly open door as a voice rang through the crack. Kohana sat up and tilted her head to the right slightly. She wondered if it was the man from not too long ago who startled her. She sighed to herself and closed her eyes while her elbows rested on her desk. Her wrists bent, her hands now facing inward while her fingers laced together. She then laid her chin on her interlocking digits like a hammock. You may enter....just please refrain from slamming my door...I detest loud noises.... Kohana's voise was still soft and polite. She was always a calm girl, yet so easily startled. Her eyes opened once more and glanced at the door, awaiting whoever wished to see her.

Izuru remained quiet for a couple moments and step inside. Once inside he shut the door gently as the girl requested. Some Captain would probably call the girl on giving them an order , but Izuru wasn’t really like that. He was depressed and bored looking alot of the time. But he wasn’t grouchy and snapping like some of the stuck up captains were. When door made a small click he made his way over to the blue haired girls desk were she was relaxing. As he stopped in front of the desk he can a small wind a strong tea smell filling the area. The smell seemed to come from the wastebasket near the small girls desk. Looking in the basket he stopped a clump of wet paper that resembled a stack of paperwork.

Izuru made an annoyed face at what used to be a stack of paperwork. Great now im going to have to request copies he thought to himself with a sigh. Looking back at the put back on a normal face. While wondering how he was going to comfort her about this. " Um hello .... its Kira Taichou..." he said in a calm tone figuring she had asked him not to slam the door for a reason. " How's the paperwork coming?” he asked in a casul yet calm tone as the rain began to pour harder outside.

Kohana softly sighed as the man entered her office. She looked up at him and noticed he was looking down at her wastepaper basket. She simply ignored the man's annoyed expression. She sat up straight in her chair, then slowly rose to her feet. She heard him introduce himself as Kira Taicho. This must be her new Captain. Izuru-Taicho.....a pleasure to meet you....I am Kohana Hirikano...your new Fukutaicho.... She bowed respectfully to the man, then straightened her posture. Her heterochromatic eyes locked on the melancholy male. She had read about him in previous reports. This man was a sad sack to say the least. She let out another soft sigh as she heard him mention her paperwork. Forgive me, Izuru-Taicho, but my paperwork was ruined when I spilled my tea on my desk. Takahashi-kun, an unseated member of your division, was so kind as to startle me. In my panic, I knocked my tea over....However, I had already sent a hell butterfly out with a request for copies. I will be receiving them shortly....Sorry for the trouble.... Kohana spoke calmly and respectfully to the man, hoping to avoid trouble.

Izuru remained silent as the girl ignore him for couple seconds. But , soon she shot up in her chair when she realized that he was her captain. ''Nice to meet as well" he repelled back to her as well. As the girl let out a sigh in response to his comment about the paperwork. She then as for forgiveness and explained the who incident to him. Before curing on of his worries by telling him that she had already sent a request for copies with a hell butterfly. Izu was glad she wasn’t one of lazy people that would just hide it a leave it to him to do it. The girl then told him that she would receiving them shortly. As she said that a small framed unseated officer ran in and bowed to them both respectively before placing some paperwork on the desk and leaving. Kira looked to the door briefly and then back at his new vice captain. " Its ok don't worry about" he said calmly before grabbing a chair and pulling it up to her chair." Here ill help you with it now that its here" he continued in the same tone as he grabbed one of the pieces of paper.

Kohana watched as a young soul reaper brought in her paperwork. She nodded and thanked the boy as he ran back out of the room. She then glanced at Izuru as he took a seat next to her and offered to aide her in completing her paperwork. He really didn't know her that well. Without saying a word, she began on her work on the papers, breezing through at least ten papers before Izuru finished one. This was a first hand look at why Kohana always had so much free time. She was efficient and quick. She finished the rest of her paperwork a few minutes later, then reread through them to make sure everything was correct. She then slid the papers over to Izuru. Completed, Izuru-Taicho....sorry they're a tad late... She then slowly rose from her seat and walked to the large window behind her desk. She glanced outside to find that the rain had picked up. It showed no signs of stopping for a while now. She softly smiled and glanced back at Izuru. Such a lovely day, don't you agree, Taicho? Kohana was being serious. She found rain to be a beautiful and neccessary thing. Without is, there would be no life. Kohana's gaze returned to the window while she awaited Izuru's response.

Kira watched in silence as the girl sped through the paperwork like there was only two sheets. He had never seen somebody work so fast on a stack of paperwork that size. It usually took him at least a good hour or so to finish a stack that big. But, of course he got distracted by his own thoughts alot of the time. This girl was silent as she did they paperwork so, he figured her mind was only on the work. Instead of letting her self get distracted by other things. After the light haired girl finished she looked to and apologized for it being a tad late. " Its ok.. it wasn’t due to next week anyway." he told her in a calm tone as the rain began to come down even harder. After speaking to him the girl wondered over to look at the pouring rain. Kira looked up at the window also as the girl asked what a lovely day it was. Kira didn’t like the rain much but , he was sometimes entertain to watch from the inside. 'Hai it is" he said calmly before he got up from his chair and walked over to the window still. As he walked the back of his haori moved slightly and revealed the blue lining inside ever second. Upon reaching the window he took a seat on the sill.

Kohana smiled once more, her eyes following her Taicho as he approached the window before taking a seat in the window sill. Her eyes then fell back on the outdoors, admiring the glistening rainfall. A scene of sheer beauty in Kohana's eyes. At that moment, she felt her Zanpakuto, Ichirin No Hana, pulse against her left hip before the blade radiated a bright green aura. Kohana glanced down at her blade and smiled. Ichi-Dono...would like to go outside....he adores rain....would you care to join me, Izuru-Taicho..? Our work is completed for the day....and you get to meet Ichi-Dono... Kohana smiled to the man while slowly moving her hand along her blade's handle to calm the restless spirit within. Every day that it rained, Kohana had a habit of releasing her Shikai so her Zanpakuto Spirit could enjoy the rain too. He was a plant beast, afterall. It was only natural. Kohana walked towards the door and turned to face her captain, awaiting a reply.

Looking back at the girl he noticed a green aura coming from her sword. So, he figured that her zanpaktou must be speaking to her. He then wondered what it was talking to her about. The blond captains zanpaktou spirt is not much of a talker like the young vice captains. Unless you you count chain noises as talking.Shortly after the green light had appeared the girl told him that the spirt wanted to go outiside.The girl then asked him if he would like to join the outside because their work was done for the day. The blond remained silent for a moment and looked out the window. Rain was usaully good to go out in when you were in a depressed mood. Even he rather disliked the wetness he decied to agree to go out in it with his vice captain. Because he would be a good chance to get to know her and was rather curios to meet the zanpaktou spirt when the girl said it might come out . He then wondered if they would to meet wabisuke , but then he wasnt so sure they would be like him very much. "Sure" he finally said calmly as he stood up from the window sill and then walked to the door as the girl did. Upon reaching the door he walked passed the girl into the hallway and waited for her to follow him.

[ooc: im sorry this so long school and final and sickness have dragged me down and my computers being a moron. ]

Kohana smiled softly and followed behind her captyain as they left her office. She closed the door behind her, then took the lead, guiding Izuru out to the back of the headquarters and into the courtyard. She instantly felt the rain hit her the moment she stepped outside. It was a warm summer rain, and quite refreshing. She stood in silence for a moment, letting the warm droplets cascade down her form. Ichirin no Hana began to glow a brighter green color. He was anxious now that he felt water hitting him. Kohana smiled once more and slowly drew her blade, filling the moist air with the lush scent of cherry blossons as her blade was drawn. She smiled and traced her fingertips along her emerald green blade, then spoke in a gentle tone. Sing with me, the song of Nature's Requiem...Ichiron No Hana.... At her command, her blade burst into a storm of bright pink flower petals, leaving only the tsuba and handle intact. Within seconds, the petals reattached themselves to the Tsuba and handle, taking the form of a long, serrated whip. The whip curled around her form and began to glow an emerald green hue before something seemed to pull itself from Kohana's body. It was a blackish green figure with four, bright red eyes. It looked like a six foot tall venus flytrap with tendril like feet that served as it's roots, it's hands appearing the same way. It's torso was no more than a four foot thick stalk. This beastly creature was Ichirin no Hana. The creature buried it's root like feet into the ground, then tilted its head back before it's head opened along a vertical seem, like a Venus Flytrap opening it's leafy mouth. It collected rainwater in its "mouth" while Kohana simply watched with a soft smile on her lips. Ichi-Dono....

Kira watched the girl slightly as she cut in front of him and took the lead. Most captains he knew would get very mad st her for such a thing. Izu wasnt like that so, he said nothing and followed her outside. Once outside he wrinkled his nose slightly in annoyance as the rain hit his face. It felt kinda of nice but it also made he feel depressed. Looking to his vice captain he noticed the green aura on her sword grow and even brighter green, Without a word he walked closer to her as she took the sword out of its holder. After the girl mutter her release pharse a large venus fly trap appreaed in the rain.. Kira blinked at the sight and the plant drinking the water and then looked back at the blue haired girl. The girl seemed to think the plants actions were rather amusing." Well he's enjoying himself" the blond said calmly.After speaking to the women his bright eyes looked up to the sky above their heads. Soon he could feel his hair becoming heaby , but he wasnt going to complain because the girl and his zanpaktou sprit seemed happy out here. Sighing very quitely he looked back over at the girl and the plany again.

Kohana smiled and glanced over at Izuru as he spoke about how Ichirin no Hana was enjoying himself. She simply nodded and lightly traced her fingertips down the thick body of the plant like creature. Ichi-dono loves the rain....it calms him when he's restless....much like it does for me... As Kohana lightly touched the plant-like spirit, it curled it's vine like tendrils around Kohana's waist. Kohana made no sudden movements. She simply looked up into the creature's crimson stare. Ichirin no Hana closed it's leafy jaws, swallowing the water it collected. Moments later, small buds began to pop up on his tendrils. The buds then bloomed into bright pink flowers. A rare breed at that. These one of a kind blossoms were unique only to Ichirin no Hana. Kohana smiled and watched as the spirit plucked one of the flowers from his tendrils and then tucked it behind Kohana's right ear while pushing the wet strands of hair out of her face. The spirit then spoke to Kohana in his deep, raspy voice. Thank you, Ko-Ko....Maybe you're not such a scrawny little bitch afterall... Kohana was used to such comments from the beast. He had quite a rough demeanor, but he often showed that he held respect for her, despite how he spoke to her. Kohana simply smiled, shivering a bit as Ichirin no Hana's vines released her, their thorns leaving small rips in her Kosode from the vines' rather obscure embrace. Before Kohana could blink, her Zanpakuto's spirit had vanished, returning to it's home within her weapon. Kohana simply nodded and sealed her Shikai before sheathing her sword. She glanced up at Izuru and smiled. He is sorry that he couldn't stay longer...but he doesn't like to be out unless he is truly needed... As she spoke, she brushed her fingertips against the bright pink flower that Ichirin no Hana placed in her hair. The petals were as smooth as silk, the leaves feeling like soft velvet. She always loved Ichirin no Hana's blossoms, and was always grateful when she was rewarded with such an extravagant flower.

Izuru watched the touch the plant while she explained that the water calmed the large plant creature. Kira then blinked a couple times when he saw the wine wraps one of his wines around the girl. He then wondered why he was doing such a thing. The blond then took a step forward as the teethed plant began to grow pink flowers. They plant then insulted the girl , but still gave her a flower to put in her hair. Izuru remained slight as he watched the spirit release the girl before leaving. When it was gone the captain walked closer to his vice captain noticing the rips in her clothes.

'" Are you hurt? '' he asked in calm tone as he looked at one of the rips on her top. After he had approached her the girl then apologized for her zanpaktou spirit. Telling him that plant didn’t like staying out too long unless he was needed. After speaking the girl touched flower the plant had given her. The rain seemed to get heavier on his head as he saw a flash in the distance that caused him to blink a couple times. He then looked to his sword slightly when he heard a chain sound. Saying nothing to it he looked back up at the light haired vice captain.

" Its ok " he said in response to her comment as he touched his bangs momentarily. Because the were getting heavy and wet so some of it had gone into his eye.

Kohana looked at Izuru curiously as he questioned if she was hurt. That's when she noticed the rips in her attire caused by Ichirin no Hana's thorns. Kohana simply smiled and lightly shook her head. No, I'm fine. That's just from Ichi-Dono's version of a hug... She paused there as the downpour became stronger, a flash of lightning soon illuminating the sky. Moments later, the roar of thunder rattled the heavens. Kohana bit her lip and shuttered slightly. Izuru-Taicho....We should go inside now....I can make us some tea after we change into dry clothes if you like.... She brushed a few damp strands of hair from her eyes, then softly smiled towards the man, awaiting his decision.

After he let go of his hair the girl explained the plant wrapping its fine was its version of a hug. Kira found that kind of odd , but said nothing about it to her. The women's spirit didn’t look much for hugs but yet he did anyway. The blonds zanpaktou spirit didn’t look like he was up for anything and held up to that observation. Kira saw the girl bit her lip when the sky let go a loud roar so, he looked to his right at the sky. When he looked back at her the sky roar and then flashed. A moment later the girl seemed to read his mind about going inside. It was defiantly the best to do when it was lightning because they both carried metal swords. Metal was a conductor of electricity so they would probably get shocked if they stayed out any later. It wasn’t a definite but , it was best not to take a chance unless there was danger going on outside. " Yes ... I think that would be best" he said calmly as he watched another strand of lighting make its way across the sky. Saying nothing more he started on his way back to the building hoping the girl would follow.

Kohana smiled and followed her captain as he lead her inside. Her heart seemed to skip a beat as thunder echoed through the murky grey heavens. She trembled slightly and fidgited with her dampened hair. She loved rain, but hated thunder and lightning. Storms always seemed to frighten the timid Vice Captain, and she couldn't understand why.

Once inside, she looked up at Izuru. Once we have changed, you are welcome to meet me in my office for some tea...I can make a special blend that will warm the body, as well as aide in preventing a cold...I will bring the neccessary items with me to my office...please join me when you are ready.. She then bowed to her Captain before she flash stepped to her quarters.

Her room was small, yet well kept. Her bed was neatly made and her floors were spotless. Everything on her bed side table was neatly organized. She smiled and closed her door behind her before shedding her damp clothing. She laid them over her desk chair to dry before walking over to a large wooden wardrobe. She opened the doors, revealing an array of decorative furisode style kimonos. She felt like dressing comfortably for the rest of the day. She picked out her favorite kimono and laid it on top of her bed. The kimono was a powder blue color with a pastel pink sakura blossom pattern on it. To go with it, she took out a slightly darker blue Obi sash. She swiftly put the garment on, then put the obi on afterward. After she was dressed, she took a small towel from the table next to the wardrobe and dried her hair before brushing it out. She then replaced the flower from Ichirin No Hana, tucking it behind her left ear. She smiled slightly, then gathered a small metal tea pot, several herbs, a bottle of mineral water, and a portable heating stove. She placed them all in a light brown satchel before gently slinging the bag over her right shoulder. She slipped on a pair of wooden clogs, then exited her room. She headed back towards her office, it being right next door to Izuru's.

She entered her office and took a seat in her chair. She sat her satchel on her now empty desk, then removed the heating stove. She retrieved this odd item from her visit to the world of the living. She sat it up, then light the burner. After that was done, she took out the tea pot, the herbs, and the water. She poured the water into the tea pot, then added a generous mixture of various herbs that included rosemary, lavender, dried orange peels, rose hips, white tea leaves, and peppermint leaves. A perfect blend for a soothing rainy day tea. She then sat the pot on the burner and let the tea brew. While she awaited Izuru, she opened her desk drawer and took out two medium sized tea cups and sat them up on her desk. She then closed the drawer and sat back, awaiting her captain's arrival.

Kira entered the building after the light haired girl and blew his hair from his face. The girl then told them then should go change in their room. And then meet back in her office when they were finished. Kira nodded to her slightly when she bowed before leaving to go change. When the girl was done he went back to his quarters. Once in his quarters he made his way over to the draws were he kept fresh clothes. Sniffling slightly he removed the wet clothes and put them on a chair so he could get them washed later. After putting on his knew uniform he looked to his wet captains cloak. Knowing he had to wear some sort of cloak and wet to his closet were he put on his former captains. He was ready to leave for his vice captain;s office after drying his hair when a note on his desk caught his eye.

Picking it up he noticed that it was a not from lightining Taicou of squad 6. He made and made a face after reading and stuffed it in his shirt before leaving. When he arrived at the small vice captain's office she had already started on the tea Walking over to the desk he pulled up a chair a sat down. He then removed the not from the inside of his shirt and placed it on the table. He didnt want to ruin their good time but he knew he had to talk to her about this so he decied to take it slow. '' Um can i talk to you about something?"he asked calmly as he pushed the note closer to her as a signal to read it.

Kohana sat quietly in her office, awaiting the arrival of her Captain. She didn't have to wait long. After a few moments, he entered, but she felt that something was off about him. She shook it off and rose to her feet, greeting her captain with a bow. As he pulled up a chair, she sat back down. The aroma of her tea filled the office now, steam now rising from the nozzle on the pot. It was ready. Kohana began to pour herself and Izuru a cup of tea when she noticed him sliding a note towards her. She cocked her head to the right slightly, then turned the burner on the mini heating plate off before setting the hot kettle down onto it. She picked up the note and examined it, then looked up at Izuru as he asked if they could talk about something. The fine hairs on her neck and arms stood on end. She was getting an odd feeling that this was more than just a relaxing get together. Something was wrong. Perhaps she did something wrong and was now in trouble for it, but she couldn't think of anything she did that would be a cause for scolding. She set the note down, her eyes still on Izuru. S-Sure, Izuru-Taicho.....What is it..? Her nervousness could be heard in her quivering voice. Her hands began to fidgit with her damp hair while she lightly bit down on her bottom lip. She sat in silence yet again, awaiting to hear potentially bad news.

Izuru remained silent and pulled the tea cop toward him when the girl was done pouring it. The girl seemed very worried by his request to talk to her something. The blond captain didn't want to scare her but , this had to be talked about. " According to this note you've been sneaking out to the human world without permission." he said calmly before taking a sip of his tea and then putting it down at the table." I need to know the reason...im not sure what lightning taichou would do.'' he said before breaking off mid sentence. Wondering what to say to her next about the matter without scaring her anymore than she already was." Lightning Taichou wants to punish you for it ... if you tell me i won't make it to hard. Lightning Taichou i cant say the same for." He said sounding a little worried about the matter. Because he knew that he would have to report his findings back to Lightning Taichou anyway and he was worried for girl after that. He sure hoped she would get a serious punishment from the female captain. She seemed like she would be a good vice captain so he didn't want to lose her.

Kohana's pulse ran of the charts, bher heart now racing wildly within her chest. Her delicate hand shook as it reached for her tea, but she quickly pulled away. She softly sighed, trying to relax herself so she could speak. T-Taicho....I didn't sneak off....I left a note on your desk stating that I had received notice of a child's soul that had lost it's way....I...I wasn't going to just wait for someone else to hear about it...the boy was on the edge of becoming a hollow....I wasn't going to ballow a mere child suffer such a fate....So I left to the world of the living to free his soul....But then I ended up staying a little longer than I should have....but.... She paused there, unsure if she should tell Izuru of her relationship with a human. She clenched her fists and sighed softly. She had to give him the truth. Kohana was never one to lie. She turned her gaze back up to Izuru, her voice still quivering. Taicho....I...I'm in love...with...with a human....I know I may be executed because of that...but I don't care....I'll die loving him... She averted her gaze, her eyes now on her tea. She watched the small ripples that her movements caused, comparing the current events to them. How something as small as a soul retrieval could turn into a potential death sentence.

Izuru made a face in his thoughts at the girl response to his words. He had failed in the attempt not to freak her out. As a result the girl was in front of shaking as she attempted to grab her tea cup. After she seemed relaxed slightly she began to explain herself and told him about small boy's soul. And how she had just gone to save it before it became a hollow. She then added that she had left a note on his desk about it. The blond tried to remember if he had saw a note on his desk about this. As Kira thought about the lighter haired girl went on to explain that she had stayed longer that she expected. He then took another sip as tea and looked to it briefly. A moment later he looked back at the girl when he heard her pause in her speech.

The girl looked like something was troubling her because she was clenching her fist. He was about to ask her if she was ok but, he paused because she began open her mouth to speak. This time she told him that she had fallen in love with a human. The third squad captain's eyes widen slightly in response to this. A moment later his eyes softened and looked down at his reflection in his tea. Not getting her in big trouble with Lighting Taichou was now even harder. He couldn’t deiced weather to lie and say she sensed a soul in trouble and forgot to inform anyone or to just tell the truth. He erased that possibility from his head because he knew he would get in trouble if his lie was discovered.

Izuru was glad to her dedication to the man she loved , but he knew he had to tell the truth. " I don't want that to happen to you but, I cant lie to Lightining Taichou either. Perhaps if you went with me to report back to her we could try and work something out to avoid execution." he said calmly hoping that slim chance with calmer her a bit.

Kohana's body was shaking like a leaf in the wind. Her nerves were on edge. The one thing on her mind now was if she'd ever see Vincenzo again. If she was to be executed, then he'd never know. She feared that he'd think she abandoned him. All these thoughts and feelings began to overwhelm the young woman. She closed her eyes tightly, fighting back her tears. She didn't want to have to die without at least seeing the man she loved. Her eyes slowly opened, tears now falling onto the cherry wood surface of her desk. She looked up at Izuru. Izuru-Taicho.....if I am to die....Would you please do something for me..? She paused there and took out a pen and paper. She began to scribble down a message of some sort onto the paper. Once she finished, she folded the note, masking the words. She then slid the note to Izuru. In the event of my execution....please do me this favor....I ask that this note gets delivered to a man in the world of the living....his name is Vincenzo...Could you please do that for me..? Kohana was terrified now. She had not done anything wrong to endanger the Seireitei, but with the current state of the Soul Society, those in charge have become irrational and so willing to execute their own kind for the most petty of offences. Kohana held no high hopes of being spared. She trembled lightly, her eyes still on Izuru. Let's go see Lightning-Taicho...to learn my fate...

Izuru made a face in his thoughts as he watched the girl shake like leaf in a rough wind. She really thought that Lightning Taichou was going to have her killed on the hill. Kira looked at his tea in despair not wanting to be the one to bring a small girl to her death.After staring at his his tea for a couple more moments he looked up again when the girl asked him if he could do something for her if she was to die." Of course" he said calmly with some of his worry sticking out like an unwanted hair in his voice. Shortly after speaking the girl scribbled something a scarp of paper and sliding it to him. She then asked him to give it to the human she was in love with at the event of her execution. " Sure although ill try my best to see it doesn't come to that?'he said in the best calm tone he could get out. Hoping in his head that lighting would't be as rough as the previous captain of squad six Byakuya. Taking the note from the desk he stuffed it inside his shirt just in case he really had to deliver it.Keeping silent he stood from the desk as she requested the go see lightning to learn her fate. H e then let go a small sigh and turned for the door expecting her to follow.

Kohana simply nodded in response to him accepting her request. As Izuru stood, she stood with him, her body visibly shaking. Her nerves were going mad, her mind only focused on Vincenzo and how he'd react to the event of her execution if that was to come. She could only focus on his feelings. She softly sighed and wiped her tears from her eyes while watching Izuru make his way to the door. She followed behind him, reluctant to know her fate, yet willing to face the consequences for her own actions. She looked up at Izuru as she stood behind him. Lead the way, Izuru-Taicho...I am ready... She didn't even bother to grab her Zanpakuto on the way out. She felt no need to carry it with her this time. She left it on her desk, the blade quickly filling the room with an ominous green glow. A voice echoed from within the blade. A voice filled with despair as it spoke only one word. Kohana....
